WRONG.

Pity your stamp tax bill size does not reflect the size of your IQ!

I am in a relatively unique position of having worked for an extended period in office work (viz 10 years plus 2 = 12) and worked 28 years as a teacher and thus can absolutely state, without any doubt at all, the work load involved in teaching at secondary level was FAR FAR FAR AND AWAY GREATER THAN ANY OF MY OFFICE JOBS.

Office work finishes when you walk out the door. An additional 20 hours (sometimes more) is added to the face-to-face teaching in the classroom when one takes on the job of a teacher. Who do you reckon prepares the lessons, prepares homework, corrects the homework and when teaching older students undertake the commentary and correction involved in long, sophisticated essays when teaching a subject like Economics? You can't do that during the lunch break of 45 minutes particularly if you are on yard duty at the time.

No yard duty for office workers, no after-school staff meetings, curriculum meetings, subject level meetings, book lending duty, bus duty, detention duty, etc etc etc..

I am informed. We have three in the family 1 primary and two high school. A nephew is a Uni professor. I lived overlooking a golf course for many years. By 3.30 most of the teachers at the local school were on the course most days. Those that I had as teachers at school didn't impress either.
